Choose your trip

Few countries are so adept at seduction as Greece. Crete and Santorini mix lose-yourself old towns with stunning scenery – for proof, check out sunset over Santorini’s caldera or walk through Crete’s Agia Irini gorge. Elsewhere, the unique blend of landscape and man-made marvels reaches its peak in the monasteries of the Lousios Valley and Meteora, where the buildings sit impossibly atop soaring pinnacles. And in a country that glories in its myths, sights like Mycenae and Delphi are essential stuff, the latter perched on Mount Parnassos overlooking the Gulf of Corinth. And don’t forget the Acropolis – nobody who visits it ever does.

Music is the lifeblood of many countries, and catching a local performance is...

A personal concept, granted, but paradise for many resembles a tropical island. Its most extreme form is ‘islomania’, an irresistible attraction to islands, a term coined by the writer Lawrence Durrell. For those with a little more perspective, the pleasures are perhaps more obvious: swaying...
